Yes that's fine, I can easily do the conversion to RGB.

Yes, I am looking for the same kind of rendering as in Blender, where
we start we a low res version and progressively improve it, if the
user changes the scene of the camera position, the rendering is reset.
It works more or less out of the box with the session->draw method,
but it is using OpenGL to do the rendering directly on screen. What -I
think- I want is to get the raw data and add put it into a dynamic
texture that I can integrate into goxel rendering.

Not sure what that means.  I only want to render on screen, and also
into a file for export.

OK thanks for the tips, I will have a look at that.
